Dixey and his 1d0aiS leaves to-day.
He has pocketed Il small barrel OF
money in his five performances in
three days. And by the way, MIR.
Wyatt, the enterprising manager,
gets nothing, as ha had to buy of
another attraction which had this date,
in order to secure Dixey. How good
the piece is may be vouched for by
the receipts OF the box Office, the five
houses, at EACH OF which standin /.
room was at Il premium, and
the enthusiastic praises OF the
playgoers Of this city. One gentleman,
who has seen the world on both sides
of the intercontinental ferry, says
h3 would not miss Dixey's iinpersona-
tion of Irving for so. 1t is not gen.
orally known that Mr.. Edward T..
Rice, who accompanies the attraction,
is the gifted author of music, libretto
and stage business. He is al-o the
author OF the celebrated Rice's Sur

COUNTY TAXES.
The Amount Stiil Unpaid and
Delinquent.

The rush OF the people to pay their
county taxes before they were delin-
quent on Tuesday was very inter-
esting sight. All day long the Tax
Collectors Office was thronged with
people, all carrying money or checks.
Besides these every mail brought let
ters containing checks, and it looked
very much as if the Tax Collector was
about to be deluged. At 6 O'Clock,
however, all the excitement waa
over and the count commenced. At
that time it was impossible to tell just
how inuch had been paid, and yesler

G. Jones, of Wilmington, the gallant
young colonel of that regiment. Col
Jones rode horse. The animal went
fairly wild at the noise and unusual
sights and dashed into a group OF
marsh ais. Col Jones was thrown
from the horse and his sword, which
was in his right hand, struck A
james, one of the marshals, fairly
with the point in the back near the
spine and transfxed him, its point
protruding three inches beyond the
breast-bone, and then snapped near
the guard. The blade was pulled out
by the point. Col. Jones was stunned
and is utterly unnamed by the dread
full occurance. Physicians say there
are hopes that james may live.

GOOD ADVICE
For Farmers all Over North Carolina
to Accept.
From the Horgantom Star.

From the N0rgdaton Star.
It is not our purpose to discourage
our own farmers, but rather work to
encourage them to Put forth greater
efforts to utilize our productive soil.
Passing through Cleveland county
this week we were forcibly impressed
with the fine condition of the farms.
The stock law is in force and every
foot of available land is in cultivation.
Large compost heaps may be seen ON
every farm and all the seeds that are
planted receive liberal share. Old
fields that were considered worthless
a few years ago are now, by the use of
this homemade fertilizer, yielding
from half to a bale to the acre. They
keep only Il few head of hogs and cat
tie and keep them well, which is the
only successful plan. In short, new
energy has seized every farmer in
Cleveland and they are moving right
along.
Now can't we get little of the same
spirit in Burke? If success crowns
their efforts on these old, once barren
HciuS O1 O10NeIduQ, "Nd1 NOuISi NC
the result if the same efforts were put
forth in Burke? It would simply be
wonderful; and instead of some Of our
farmers buying Chicago bacon, Ten
nessee -four, Kentucky blue-q qrass, east
ern N. G. yams, Northern pressed
lard, canned beef, etc, etc, they would
be shipping all the commodities to
other markets. Farmers, look to your
interest. You own the land that is
capable of producing everything neces-
sary for the sustenance of man OF
beast with your help, and farmer
that consumes every year more than
he produces, It's only a.matter of time
with him before the auctioneer will
say, "Going, going andg one"

The Cross-Eyed Congressman.

Representative Johnston of North
Carolina is one of the plainest, easy
going members of the House, and is
among the richest of Southern Repre-
sentatives. He, however, is not bit
proud, and has Distinguishing mark
in that he is cross-eyed He tells story
on himself which shows there is some
advantage in having a crooked vision.
Before being elected to Congress he
served several terms in the North
Carolina Legislature, and was ire
quently called upon to preside as
speaker pro tenn. On one occasion
there was warm contest in the House
and number of members were striv-
ing for recognition. "After the con-
test a member came to me and was
quite indignant. Says he: You were
looking right straight at me, and you
recognized the other fellow" eyes" "
replied Mr.. Johnston, II am cross
eyed, and my sight was on the other
man. This satisfied the complain
ing man, but the fact was that he did
see him, but he did not want to recog-
nize the gentleman, and his angular
vision stood him in good stead.

latter especially looked fierce and
frightful even III death, as Catilina is
said by Sallust to have looked, when
dead on his battlefield.
For the last eight miles of our jour
ney to Sparta we had good chance
to get lift in an empty wagon, but
according to our plan, which was to
walk into Tennessee, we did not ac-
cept the chance Wei now had to cross
the Little rivera river which bellies
it's name, for it is a big river too. But
few miles further on we arrived in
good time at our destination for the
day, even at Sparta-not the ancient
Sparta, Lakedaimon, the city of Men
claus, of Lycurgus, of Pausanias, Le-
onidas, Lysander ana Agesilaus, and
of all those grand personages with
those beautiful, full-sounding Greek
names-but a very small sort of a
county town, of all the county seats
which we passed, certainly the one least
imposing, though none of them was
very much so. There is but one sort
Of street here, no attempt at a square,
and that street is but very thinly filed.
AS [ wanted some smoking materials
I got acquainted in the only two stores
OF Sparta. In the one [ procured a
pipe, and in the other l succeeded IL
getting some tobacco. The latter store
was closed when I approached it, but
the owner seeing some one at the door
came quickly over from before the
Court House, and found some tobacco
This is evidently no smoking commu-
nifty. Well, the ancient Spartans
would also have scorned the weed
But perhaps the presentSpartans chew
! tobacco? Or do they revel only il
their fresh air and pure water? These
are certainly here of the purest ane
best. The hotel, or boarding house
where we stopped atSparta, is situated
pleasantly outside town, not far from
a school of considerable pretensions
which seems to be fourishing and t.
have pretty wide reputation.

Lillian is! We ought to have worked
up beautiful romance after that
charming moonlight ride!" Then
I said, ''Shut up, Charlie, and prom
ised not to tease him any more until
after are are married."
Uncle Ned's letter was brief, but
very kind. He said "he had been
looking into my fathers papers, and
found that matters were not half so
bad as had appeared for some months
after his death. One of the banks
had resumed payment, and he thought
that about twenty thousand dollars
could yet be recovered. He would
see at once about securing the "HalP'
and other property, &C."
Oh! how fully my prayers were
being answered, and my kind Father
above was indeed giving me more
than [ deserved, or could ever have
asked!
I then went to see how Winnie
was getting on, and found her in a
sweet and quiet sleep.
Philip and Lula were sitting by
the window playing 'Drafts," and
he Philip) told me that he had
read a Psalm or two to Winnie, and
a piece of poetry, which she liked.
He would not let her talk much
indeed she did not seemed inclined
to talk-but would listen with in
telligent interest to all that was said
to her.
She had been told of Pauline's
departure, and at first seemed be-
wildered, and asked, "WHo Is Paul
inc 2" But when the new maid
'Rena" was introduced, she looked
pleased and said:
'tI am glad old Pauline is gone
| like this one best" And from
that time the friendly confidence and
mutual liking between the young
mistress and the motherless maid
seemed to be thoroughly and per-
manently established.
Philip now came down stairs and
prepared to walk over to Ravens
wood with DR.. Walker, both Of
them having accepted the invitation
of the hospitable old Gen. to make
that their home during their stay in
the neighborhood. They would come
again the next morning. In the
meantime Mrs. Barron had kept
closely to her own room, not even
appearing to receive the "adieus" OF
the two gentlemen. They kept d
polite message for her, and walked
ON to Ravenswood.

You came when my spirit was dark as the night,
And laid your soft cheek to my own;
Your warm lips were close to mine ear, and the
light
In beautiful radiance shone.
Your arms are around nae land gently you breathe
The word that doth thrill me with bliss.
Forgive and the glories of paradise wreathe
My sky, as give you loves kiss.

My spirit was dark the fathomless night,
And Hope hid her face in the gloom;
The springs budding beauty nor golden sun
light,
My sad, heavy heart could illume.
1 thought of the look had seen on your face,
The harsh, bitter words that you spoke;
My soul in its sorrow would constantly trace
It's causes of cruel heart-break.
